Here’s my comment about it:

Prisoners in the United States jumped from 120,284 in 1923 to 210,418 in 1933. (Source (p. 210))

Executions increased to 197, the highest number in US history, in 1935. (Source)

The U.S. forcibly deported one million of its own citizens to Mexico in the 1930s. Source

Since you’re probably using an intentionally ridiculous US estimate, I’ll use an intentionally ridiculous Russian estimate and say that seven million people died from the Great Depression. This Russian estimate uses the same intentionally ridiculous methodology of the U.S. one.

Put together, why isn’t this enough to declare that a genocide happened in the U.S.?
